Convert CAD & BIM (Revit, IFC, AutoCAD) in dataBase (DataFrame)
A minimal workflow to convert a Revit/IFC/DWG project into analysis-ready XLSX (and optional DAE) with a single run. Set two variables, execute, and the converter does the rest. What it does - Inputs: pathtoconverter and pathprojectfile (RVT/IFC/DWG). - Runs: RvtExporter.exe "<converter>" "<projectfile>". - Outputs: writes <ProjectName>rvt.xlsx (and rvt.dae if enabled by your converter). Prerequisites - Windows host (local executable + filesystem). - DDC Revit toolkit installed

About this workflow
A minimal workflow to convert a Revit/IFC/DWG project into analysis-ready XLSX (and optional DAE) with a single run. Set two variables, execute, and the converter does the rest. What it does - Inputs: pathtoconverter and pathprojectfile (RVT/IFC/DWG). - Runs: RvtExporter.exe "<converter>" "<projectfile>". - Outputs: writes <ProjectName>rvt.xlsx (and rvt.dae if enabled by your converter). Prerequisites - Windows host (local executable + filesystem). - DDC Revit toolkit installed: C:\\DDCConverterRevit\\datadrivenlibs\\RvtExporter.exe. - A local project file you can read. How to use 1. Import this JSON into n8n. 2. Open “Set path to file and converter” and set: - pathtoconverter: C:\\DDCConverterRevit\\datadrivenlibs\\RvtExporter.exe - pathprojectfile: e.g., C:\\SampleProjects\\yourproject.rvt 3. Run Manual Trigger → the command node executes the converter. Notes & tips - Ensure the path points to the executable inside datadrivenlibs. - Use ASCII-safe paths; ensure write permissions next to the project file. - This is intentionally simple: chain it with your own Parse/Transform/Load steps as needed.
